agent0smith · Answer

No, read part b much more carefully, then read part a again.

251032.5 lb/hr/62.416/ft*60min

agent0smith · Answer

Much better.

anonymous · Answer

and that will equal 940106671.2 volume flow

agent0smith · Answer

Does it seem reasonable?

You can't divide a number, by another number (which is greater than 1) and end up with a BIGGER number than you started with

250,000 divided by 62 divided again by 60... how is that 250,000 going to become 900 million?

anonymous · Answer

no it doesn't sound reasonable but thats what i get when i multiply and divid it unless i set it up wrong

agent0smith · Answer

250,000 divided by 62 divided again by 60 = ?

anonymous · Answer

if i use my other calculator i get 241315.5281

anonymous · Answer

oh see i've got s51032.5/62.416*60 but you are telling me to take 251032.5/62.416/60? correct that might be where i'm wrong

agent0smith · Answer

250,000/10 = 25,000 and you're getting 241,000 dividing by 60 twice, so i have no idea what you're doing

anonymous · Answer

now if i do it the other way i get 67.0

agent0smith · Answer

what were you doing before? show your work so you can learn to never ever do it again.
